EXPERIENCE

A biodegradable sponge effective for all uses in the kitchen and around the house.

We tested over 50 different natural materials and found this product to be the most similar to typical kitchen sponges. One side is made from coconut fiber, perfect for scrubbing and cleaning. The other side is highly absorbent cellulose.

They’re durable (you can even put them in the dishwasher!) and compostable and the packaging is 100% free of plastic.

Specifications

  • Sponge side natural wood cellulose
  • Scrubber side pressed coconut fiber
  • Standard kitchen sponge size (length 4.4")
  • Made in China

    These are by far my favorite kitchen sponges! I’ve tried several and these hold up the best and last the longest. I’ve been using them for about a year and won’t use anything else at this point.

    Their scrubbing side works magic on crusty pans. Forget plastic, I'm all for these plant sponges now!

    Good compostable sponges without compromise

    Been using for 6 months and am really happy with them. Very durable, scrubs well, can't even tell they're compostable, except they are so that's extra awesome. They're fairly large so I cut them in half which doubles my sponge count and dries faster so it doesn't get slimy. The two boxes I bought will last me over a year which, because they don't get slimy, makes them somehow cheaper than the plastic ones I used to get at Costco? Color me impressed. I'll be back to buy more.
